. keith hopes these type of weaponry. we'll give it the upper hand. these medium range missiles could strike into russian territory, but ukraine has a great not to use them to do so. writing in the new york times, president biden announced the latest military aid to help ukraine in its fight against the invading forces. but russia's foreign minister warned the deliveries could draw a 3rd country into the wall. the key it is, the condition of the switches to such risks, of course, exist to what the key of regime is demanding from its western suppliers in such a categorical manner. first, it crosses all boundaries of decency and diplomatic communication release. you know, with your school of junior, our 3rd and 2nd, it's a direct provocation offered aim to getting the west involved in combat, liam,

they used to will absolutely in his speech to the german parliament on wednesday, chancellor or left shelter followed in biden's footsteps. he announced that germany would be sending modern air defense systems to ukraine, as well as rocket launches in coordination with the united states. midcom to enroll them the coming weeks. we will also deliver further weapons to buy. for example, the german government has just decided that we will supply the iris t system with the most modern air defense system at germany. how's? this will enable ukraine to protect an entire city from russian air strikes. that too, is a decision by the federal government. ukraine's army chief has said that these rocket systems provided by the u. s. will be crucial encountering russian attacks in the long battle over ukraine's eastern territory. earlier we spoke with liam collins, executive director of the madison policy forum,

a think tank on security policy in new york, and we asked him if these promises of weapons deliveries are coming too late in the light of an intensified russian offensive. i wouldn't say too late, i knew it would have been obviously better. they came to meet them, the onset of the concert. but i think if you look at the opening days of the war, right, western nations programs, he's out, they didn't expect to grant at the success of the kind of her body than just the arms to kinda get b, e o to a glimpse and pain. and to rush in and what it wasn't until it became obvious that ukraine grew actually to finish territory. they started to increase that support ukraine. and so it kind of gets that timeline and it's going to take time together . i would definitely not say too late, right. rushes, having some success, they're just like they had some success rock work, but their ability to maintain that gains that they make ignited. so they've shown a great capability of doing that today that was named collins, executive director of the madison policy for ukraine's president says that

russian forces are deporting and resettling children and his nightly address villa dimmer zalinski charge, that the kremlin quote, criminal policy is to make the forty's forget ukraine and never return them in total. more than $200000.00 ukranian children have been to ported so far, including orphans from orphanages, children with parents and children, separated from their families. the russian state disperses these people on its territory. settles are citizens, particularly in remote regions. voters in denmark have back the country, joining the european union's common defense policy. in a rougher under more than 2 thirds of dane supported a proposal to work with other you members. their mom is an e u member, but in the past negotiated an exemption on the blocks defense policy. now, against a backdrop of russian aggression, danes were asked whether they wanted to opt in dw correspondent barbara vessel

is in copenhagen and sent us this assessment. it's a big deal for danish people, the yes in this referendum because traditionally they have been incredibly skeptical against the european union. whatever you asked them about coming closer to europe, they tended to say no, but this time the war in ukraine has changed everything. their mindset and the mentality have felt the insecurity, rippling across from the baltic states even down here to denmark. and they feel thou, the danish people, that this is a time to step inside the tent. what it means for them on the practical level is that they will engage with other european nations in buying armament in making plans of for common missions and just participating in something that optimists call european defense policy. a policy that is only slowly evolving. but

there is more to it politically because behind this move is a sort of unification of scandinavian of the nordic countries. they feel that the time for isolationism, the splendid isolation of the north, where everybody did what they wanted, they had felt apart from the neighbors, is over. so that sort of points to a larger defense union that many hope to create here in europe snores. and in order to defend better against the strip that everyone here fields is emanating from russia. now to some of the other stories making news or on the world. chinese official say of 6 point one, magnitude earthquake has killed 4 people and injured 14 others in the southwestern sichuan province. forties in the city of yon, which was at the epicenter of deployed more than 4000 rescue workers in port

suggest. the quake triggered a landslide, but damage several homes in the us for people have been shot dead on the hospital campus in tulsa, in the state of oklahoma. lee say that a gunman, armed with a rifle and hand gun, apparently killed himself. this is the latest in a series of mass shootings to shake the united states. johnny depp has one is defamation case against his ex wife actress, amber heard the court awarded the pirates of the caribbean star over $10000000.00 in damages that had sued her for $50000000.00. over a newspaper article she wrote in 2018. dep said the piece implied he was abusive during their marriage had come to suit deb $400000000.00. 6 week long trial made headlines around the world with a password. they often lurid claims at counterclaims. domestic abuse. let's bring

in k j. matthew's entertainment journalist in los angeles. k. j. a good to have you on the program now. the jury concludes johnny depp was indeed defamed. amber heard with the much smaller when our both camps responding to the verdict. vastly different, as you can imagine, this is a straight victory for johnny debt and he acknowledges it in his statement that he recently released. he basically said our false very serious and criminal allegations were levied at me via the media which triggered an endless garage of hateful content. basically. and he said in 6 years later, the jury awarded me and gave me my life back. i am truly humbler. so as you can see, was extremely, extremely elated. on the other hand, we have amber, hard reacting and basically saying the disappointment i feel today is beyond words . i'm heartbroken that the mountain of evidence still wasn't enough to to stand out

to the disproportionate power. so vastly different reactions from this voting, obviously amber hurt extremely disappointed, even though she walked away with $2000000.00 be awarded to $1000000.00. i her counter claim and johnny debt having a clue victory. there was also the court of public opinion which had its own a clear window for weeks. why do you think that was very early on in this 6 week trial, you could see that the court of public opinion was really in the corner of johnny debt. you could see it on social media. you can see that a lot of articles that were written even if you watch all of the legal analysts. they all tended to be in the camp of johnny depp. his team did a really great job as her train him, as someone who was really just victimized and lost his multimillion dollar career and standing in hollywood based on an op ed that amber heard had written. now even though amber, her took that with the stan and she cried. and she talked about the relationship

that she had in the marriage that she had and how she felt that she was abused. it didn't seem to really have the same muster than that johnny deck happy when they put him on the stand for whatever reason, perhaps it was the fact that the, the jury was predominantly male as opposed to female, or perhaps it was her lawyer versus his lawyer and the analyst that came up on there they even have to therapists are from both camps, come on and understand and try to really talk in their defense. but in the end it was really johnny depp. who was the victor? there were more people on his side when his trial i was over simply a kitchen. it's not news that you know when celebrity couples have trouble, but i don't recall a case like this. did this have to play out so publicly and in such great detail? you know, i think it really played out publicly because johnny debt felt that he lost his career so he really had nothing else. and at this point,

he felt that he lost his standing. he felt that he was being accused of being a white feeder, and he didn't feel that he was so he really decide to pursue her for extraordinary amount of money. saying look, if i've already lost my career in hollywood, i might as well go for everything and let people know what was happening to me. my side of the story and probably expose amber in his mind for what he believes. acute she is. i mean, of course, we heard a lot of sort details over 6 weeks, so much stuff that was happening so many recordings. there were recording each other and we didn't even know that that was happening. and at the end of it, we all said they should have never been together. i think this is really a toxic relationship with so much was happening behind the scene. and i think just really shock, hollywood was shocked. the world. right. we'll have to leave it there for now. so much detail, but not enough time. kj matthews. a pleasure speaking to you in mexico at least 11 people are dad and many more i'm missing. after
